In the cosy atmosphere of a Scottish Restaurant you will discover the most iconic dessert in Scotland namely the Cranachan.
Still in the area, time to enjoy a sip of heart and soul warming Scottish Whisky.

The tour was really fun, tasty and with a lot of knowledge. Johnny is very friendly and knows how to adjust to the people he's guiding. We were only two participants and therefore we got to know each other better and we were all from different parts of the world so it was a lot of fun to share stories as we walk in the west end of Glasgow. Thank you Johnny for the wonderful experience :)
We’re happy you found your way to us. We hope the tour gave you plenty of good food, good conversation, and a few new places to remember. Thanks for spending the day with Secret Food Tours!
You want to take this tour if you want to try quintessential Scottish dishes and have an amazing tour of the West End of Glasgow. Our tour guide Will was brilliant, showing us places we would not have seen otherwise along with wonderful stories and introducing us to incredible food (and drink). He made great connections with all of us in the group. It was a highlight of our two week trip to Scotland. You will not regret taking this tour!

What a great tour. I wanted to do something in the middle of my “free” day in Glasgow and this was the perfect pick. Our tour guide Adam made sure we had the best time. He is great at giving us facts and fun stories. I’m so happy I picked this tour out of all the options there are. I think my favorite part was the cheese shop. The gentlemen there was so kind and fave great information about the different cheese with historic context. Perfect afternoon tour that I’d do again.
It was a pleasure to have you with us. Thank you for taking a moment to reflect on your experience once you were home. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again!
